  • “No stars, as I didn’t really follow the recipe.I used tomato soup instead of paste. I used farmer sausage, a little cabbage too.I added more water and some dill.I found your recipe great for inspiration to use what I had on hand.It is very tasty with the sourkraut, and I think it could turn into borscht or a bean soup.I almost added a can of pork and beans, but thought I had enough in it this time round.Pork and beans and weiners instead of sausage?The ideas keep coming. Thanks for posting.”

  • “This turned out pretty well. The sausage ended up a bit mushy, but no one seemed bothered by that except me.”

  • “So simple and so good.Left out the potatoes and cooked for 30 minutes-done.This is a great low-carb soup.I will be making this again and again.”

  • “wow this recipe is great. I made it for our extended family Chirstmas and it was great. The Leftovers wer finished the next day and tasted just as good.Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I did roast the Polish Sausage in the oven the day before as it was on and I like to do as much ahead. When I had the soup put together I placed it in my crock pot to keep hot till serving.”

  • “Love this soup.I suatee the sausage until golden brwon, and saute the inions until soft before adding the carrots and chicken broth. It enhances the flavor of the sausage.”

  • “This was very good. I found that I had to add extra broth though, the soup was way too thick for my liking. I nearly doubled the chicken broth to about 10 cups and left the remaining ingredients the same and it turned out very well. Will make again!”

  • “This was great. I followed the recipe, except for dumping a can of beer in at the end. Everyone loved it.”

  • “I’ve never had sauerkraut soup before but found this soup to be very filling and tasty- as well very quick and easy to make. I used smoked turkey polish sausage (30% less fat) and next time I’ll use regular polish sausage so that the broth is infused with the spicy sausage flavour. Thanks for posting.”

  • “I have made this recipe for years.It is very good on a winter day with some homemade bread.Add some minced garlic and a teaspoon or two of black pepper.Also rinse the kraut before adding it cuts down on the sodium content. “

  • “Very quick and simple, and full of flavour. The tomato paste makes it surprisingly thick. I used a lean smoked turkey sausage, which was unfortunately a little bland, so be sure to use a good strong spicy sausage to stand up to the rest of the soup. I found that 20 minutes cooking for each half was plenty. “

  • “Friedel, we loved this. It is so hearty that I didn’t need bread at all. Simon ate three bowls! It was so easy to make. I used chorizo because I couldn’t get polish sausage.I just realised that I forgot to add the tomato paste, but I don’t think it lacked anything at all. I am taking the rest for lunch tomorrow. Wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing. “

  • “This was very easy to fix. Vary tasty but next time I am going to use smoked hamhocks for additional smoke flavor in lieu of Polish Sausage!”
